How to Hide and Show Spotify App from Windows 7, 8, 10 Taskbar

Base on my last Spotify update, I’m
now able to hide the app from my Windows 7, 8, 10 taskbar.This little must have
feature is very useful for me as I’m running the app on our office so it’s
better to hide it from my taskbar while I’m playing cool music from my favourite
artist. Using this option helps you hide from your boss and you colleague sniper
eyes lol. Here’s a short and quick guide on how to do it.

How to Hide Spotify on Taskbar using Windows 7, 8 and 10

Open the Spotify on your Windows computer,
go to Edit tab

Click on Preferences

Look for Startup and Window
Behaviour, you’ll see two sub options.

Open Spotify automatically after
you log into the computer (Select “Minimize”)

Close button should minimize the Spotify
Window to the tray (turn it On by
swiping or clicking towards left)

That’s it, once “Close button should minimize
the Spotify Window to the tray” option is enabled whenever you close the
Spotify app on your Windows 7, 8, 10 PC it will automatically goes to icon tray. I
think by default this option is disabled so you must need to do the above steps
if you want to hide the app icon in taskbar.

How to Show Spotify on Taksbar

By simply going to system icon
tray, or clicking the arrow up right beside your computer time and clock.

Locate Spotify icon then right
click.

Click on Show Spotify.

That’s it, enjoy browsing on
thousands playlist and listen to your favourite Radio featured artists.
